The Birchbox Weekender

Since we know how crazy-busy Monday through Friday can be, we’d like to take a little pressure off the stressful question of how to spend this weekend. Here are a few particularly entertaining things we think you’d like to partake in:

Reunite with Noodles

Pasta can seem like a heavy a choice when it's 1,000 degrees outside. Instead of breaking up with your favorite mealtime staple, check out Food52's summer pasta recipe featuring seasonal ingredients like corn and slow-cooked tomatoes. There's no reason to give up your favorite carb just because it's hot out.

Meme Everything (and We Mean Everything)

GIFs are the most effective means of communication (nothing says, "I'm annoyed" quite like a virtual Real Housewives hair flip). Now you can bring your texting game to a new level with Slate, a new site allows you to generate your own animated text memes. Excuse us while we make our own meme-ified "T-G-I-F."

Break a Kardashian-Worthy Sweat

While going to the gym might not sound like the ideal way to spend your Saturday, queen of fun Khloe Kardashian has some workout moves for you to try. These four butt-kicking workouts not only encompass arm and core strength, they are definitely license to have an extra drink this weekend.

Lob it Off

Obsessed with Amanda Seyfried’s new haircut? If you got a lob this summer, check out these styling tips for giving your trimmed strands some texture—and feel free to pull out the confetti popper, because feeling light-as-a-bird is something to celebrate (especially in August).
